and I really appreciate it. Enjoy the episode.
I looked up and out the window and right above was a massive

(01:12):
object. It sounds crazy, but it's never
been the same after that day from.
HV Studio this is unnerved. Welcome back to the Unnerved

(01:50):
Podcast. It's where normal people share
their abnormal stories, and if you enjoy true stories, the
strange and terrifying, then you're in the right place.
I'm your host, Chris Freaky. Adam One, What are you
reporting? Oh, you might not have somebody
take a look. It's different.
I've never seen anything like it.

(02:11):
I don't know. It's strange.
Have you ever seen something that was a once in a lifetime
moment? Something where you just happen
to be at the right place at the right time?
Something so extraordinary and unique that when you share it
with others, their first reaction is to doubt your

(02:35):
experience and claim logic over your word?
If only they were there, and if only they could have seen and
experienced this once in a lifetime moment, then you could
truly be validated in today's story.
Jess and his mom shared that validation with each other when

(02:58):
they both saw something in the floor disguise that defied their
concept of reality. What they experienced that day
was a once in a lifetime moment that they would never forget.
This is his story. Hi, my name is Jesse.
I live in the Florida Panhandle and this was roughly 2011.

(03:24):
I was with my mom going to my grandfather's house and it was
about, I want to say 3:00 roughly because I was home
schooled, but there was really heavy traffic, which usually
meant school was letting out andpeople were on the way to get
their kids and stuff. We were right next to, I

(03:47):
remember a Dollar General and itwas at a stop like the we were
going nowhere. I don't even know why I looked
up. I just know it went from I could
hear like everyone's engines around, like the AC blowing and

(04:09):
all that, and suddenly it was like a vacuum and space.
It was just silent. I looked up and out the window
and right above the tree lines, I remember it was like right

(04:31):
above it was a massive object. And when I say this thing was
big, I mean it was like the sizeof our local mall.
If you've ever seen IndependenceDay, it was that kind of
patterning on the bottom. I won't, I don't even want to

(04:52):
say flying because it was just hovering.
And I have a hard time remembering the shape because it
was so big, but my mom is able to remember a little bit more.
She said it was more of like a hexagon kind of shape.
And it was just like I said, it was just massive.

(05:13):
But when I was looking at it, I didn't even feel scared or
anything. I honestly felt the calmest I
ever felt. It was overly calm.
I'm a really anxious person. I even take medication for
anxiety and stuff and it's just in my family and I've been
anxious ever since I was a kid. But in that moment when I looked

(05:38):
up at it, it was just me staringat it and I didn't feel almost
anything. If I'm being honest, it was just
me, blank, staring at it. I looked away from it and looked
forward and then looked back andit wasn't there.

(06:00):
And it was like in that instant I could hear everything, the
cars running around us, our AC, all that.
And I looked at my mom and she looked completely normal as she
did a minute ago, just, you know, staring forward.

(06:21):
And so I looked away and I kind of sat there for a second.
And then I looked to her and I said, did you?
And then she just cut me off andwas like, so you saw it too.
And I was like, yeah, was it really big?
And above the trees? She was like, yeah, but let's

(06:45):
just go to your grandpa's and let's just not talk about it.
Why can't we talk about it? She was like, I don't want to
talk about it because I feel like men and black are going to
come for us. My mom was a big conspiracy
theorist and still is this day. And you know, I was just such, I
guess, a well behaved kid or whatever.

(07:07):
And I took my mom's word for good.
And so when she said don't say anything, someone might come
after us, I took that to heart. I was like, Yep, Nope.
I'm not saying a thing. I remember we went to my
grandfather's house and you know, we were kind of off the
whole time and kept asking us what was wrong.
Because even though we weren't afraid in the moment when we're

(07:30):
looking at this thing, we were still unnerved after the fact
because you just saw this massive thing and no one around
us is reacting at all. Traffic just resumed how it was.
There's even some people in the parking lot and I never saw them
react or anything. I don't think a shared

(07:52):
hallucinations is a very common thing.
It was so fast. It was at most there for a
minute. I remember looking at the
dashboard, looking up at it, staring at for a minute, and
then I looked away and I looked back and it was gone.

(08:14):
It was just that fast. That's why I had to ask my mom,
did you see that? Because it was just so fast.
I was like, am I seeing things? You know?
So when my mom said that she sawsomething, it was, it was crazy.
And by what my mom says with theshape was like a hexagon kind,
not a perfect circle. It had edges to it.

(08:37):
It was just, it was massive, youknow, it was like a football
field. To be honest, it it was it was
so big that we didn't know how. No one saw it too, you know, to
the point we were questioning ifwe were crazy or something.

(08:58):
It actually took until I was, I want to say 13 for my mom to
openly talk about with my fatherand my siblings.
And my mom was explaining it to my dad.
And I actually didn't watch Independence Day.
I had never watched it. And she looks it up on the

(09:18):
family computer. And I remember, like, feeling
the shock in me because I was like I was seeing it again, but
I wasn't because it wasn't the same shape, but I was seeing the
exact picture of the pattern. The patterns were always stuck
with me because it was so metallic.
It had really deep grooves in the bottom of it.

(09:40):
I tried for so long to search tosee if anyone else had seen the
same thing, but I I haven't found anyone who has seen the
same thing. Everyone always sees, you know,
either the triangle shape or thecircle shape, like a disk, you
know, and it was just really wild.

(10:01):
So your mom, is she comfortable talking about it today?
Or is it like something she doesn't really like talking
about, just it may come up everyonce in a while?
She will talk about with me today, like I told her I was
going to be doing this call because I just felt like I need
to tell her because she's a partof it, you know, I even said, do
you remember what we saw while going to my grandfather's, you

(10:23):
know, back then? And I didn't give specifics just
to see if she would know. And she was like the thing in
the sky. Yeah, I remember, you know,
because that's a hard thing to forget later on down the road, I
want to say a week or a month later, my grandfather liked to

(10:44):
go out to one of the parks that was around us and sit on the
tailgate of his truck and, you know, just look at the stars and
talk. And we went out there and met
him one day and he's already sitting on his tailgate and he's
watching something really closely.
Sometimes it's like a satellite or something, you know, things
that are really bright in the sky.

(11:04):
And we walk up and we're like, hey, what you looking at?
And he goes, do you see what I'mseeing?
And he has sit down next to him and we look up.
He's like, look at those stars. At first it's just three of
them. They were just kind of blinking,

(11:25):
which is kind of normal, 'cause sometimes, you know, like I
said, a satellite. And then suddenly they start
moving. And it's like kind of a dance, I
want to say. They would like, spin around
each other, move side to side. And you know, this was so long
ago. We didn't at the time.

(11:47):
We were poor. We didn't have smartphones that
take a video of it, you know, Sowe were just watching these
stars dance. They would also sometimes merge
together. It would start off as three of
them, kind of like the triangle formation, you know, And that's
where we started joking. Oh, it's the UFO.

(12:09):
And then suddenly they would start moving and they would like
get next to each other and they would blink some more and then
they would kind of go in a circle pattern, blink some more,
and then they would merge together and then they'd come
back out. Like I said, we only had like
flip phones, but even they had cameras.
And I remember my grandfather, like, trying his best to take a

(12:30):
picture and trying to, like, getthe zoom to work on that thing.
You know, you're clicking that button over and over and you
could see the light bending around the object, but you could
tell that it was some kind of object.
It wasn't a *, but it was far away enough that it looked like
a star. It would merge together.

(12:51):
One would come out and it'd be two of them, and it would like,
dance together, and then it would spit the other one out.
And it just did that and tell like an hour or two later of us
watching it, it would just disappear.
But The thing is, it didn't juststop there.

(13:16):
I remember going to a pond with my brother and his girlfriend.
They were sitting down at 1 Dockfishing, and I wasn't really
into fishing. You know, you're a kid.
You think it's boring to sit there with your pole in the
water. You're like, want something
going to bite? I was just laying on the other

(13:39):
dock that was like right next tothem, watching the sky.
And instead of three, though, itwas only one.
And it kept circling us. And I know it wasn't a
helicopter or plane. Like, I really sat there and
watched this thing. It was just circling us.

(14:00):
It would go in one way. It'd disappear, like behind the
trees for a while, and they would come back and they'd do
the same thing where it just sitthere and just blink.
It didn't make any noise at all at first.
I sat there and I was like, what's that helicopter doing?
Why is it going, you know, in circles?
And then an actual helicopter went by and I was like, wait,

(14:24):
that's not a helicopter? And so I just watched it and it
did the exact same thing that the ones that me and my
grandfather would watch, except for it was a single one.
When I say it's never been the same after that, it sounds
crazy, but it's never been the same after that day I've I've

(14:46):
had so many different weird experiences follow me until this
day. The craft that Jesse and his mom
saw that day is something that anyone would have trouble
processing. Why was the craft there?
Why was there a sense of calm inits presence, and did anyone

(15:08):
else see it? These are all questions that we
may never have answers to, but Jesse's account does share
certain similarities with other reported UFO encounters.
A sense of calm isn't always thecase for UFO experiencers, but
I've noticed that it seems to bea common thread, more

(15:32):
specifically with alleged abductees.
What exactly causes this feelingis unclear.
Jesse also expressed the feelingof time slowing down while
looking at this craft as if a time warp of some kind was in
place. And if you recall from a

(15:53):
previous episode titled Mystery at Swagger Lake that was a
similar sensation to what Forrest and his friend
experienced. In Forrest Case.
Others theorize that the missingtime that he witnessed may be
the result of the UFO being capable of using
interdimensional or anti gravitytechnology where the time either

(16:18):
slips or wraps around the craft,pausing space and time itself to
go haywire. Now whether this theory is true
or not is clearly speculation atthis point.
This sighting happened in the populated area of Panama
Springs, Florida so surely others reported seeing this

(16:41):
craft right now. To be fair, this was 13 years
ago. In 2011.
Cell phone cameras were terriblequality and if it was only there
for a moment, not many people may have noticed.
Years later, Jesse tried to findsome other UFO reports from

(17:02):
locals that also may have seen this craft.
Unfortunately, Jesse didn't havean exact date of the event, and
according to both our efforts, reports in that area during that
year were not specifically related to a large hexagon
shaped UFO that was seen during the day.

(17:24):
At least none that were publiclyreported.
But I was able to find a video from 2011 where a man claimed he
was driving home at night just north of Panama City, when
suddenly he encountered a large UFO in the sky.
He was able to grab his video camera and film it for a few

(17:46):
moments before the footage shutsoff.
The man claimed that the UFO somehow destroyed his camera,
but the memory card was not damaged in the process.
Some consider this the most compelling video footage they've
seen, while others a complete hoax.

(18:07):
If you would like to see this footage, I'll include the link
in the show notes. Whether this was the exact craft
that Jesse and his mom saw that day, it's hard to say, but As
for the lights dancing in the night sky, that's a completely
different story. Florida ranks #2 with the most

(18:30):
UFO reports in the United States.
Animas Springs is certainly a hotspot for UFO activity, but
the majority of the following reports over the entire West
Coast of Florida. Remember those lights in the sky
last weekend noticed by so many at Cape Corals Coconut Festival?

(18:51):
Well, turns out folks in Floridaweren't the only ones seeing the
strange sight that most believe were UFO's.
Calls came in from far and wide.And you can see the light go
deep. This is the cell phone video
another Cape Coral family is nowshowing us from that now famous
Saturday night in the skies overSouthwest Florida.
It was. Bright red.
And we saw about 15 of them going straight through the sky.

(19:13):
I I mean, I don't know what it was.
And the director of the NationalUFO Reporting Center in
Washington state tells me by Skype, Cape Coral is not alone.
The reports that came to the National UFO Reporting Center on
Saturday night, the 10th of November, were remarkable.
They were stunning. To me, I really.
Don't think I fully understand the phenomenon that I'm dealing

(19:35):
with. He's compiled reports from
across the United States, all from the same night.
Clusters of red, orange, or yellow or amber.
Fireballs. The Red Stock family was walking
home from the Coconut Festival on this very same Cape Coral Rd.
when they looked up to the sky and immediately knew they had to
capture this on camera. I shared the UFO Center's

(19:58):
reports with them and they say those descriptions and other
places matched exactly what theysaw.
Do you guys have chills right about now?
Are you now believers? It's going to have to get a
little more solid than that for me to believe.
I don't know. I think that, you know, it's a
possibility. Like I said, I I can't rule it

(20:19):
out 100%, especially, you know, after you know the information
that's been presented to me it it kind of seems like that's
probably what it is. If it is real, it is, in my
opinion, probably the scientificquestion of greatest importance
before the American people. Namely, are we alone or are we
not? It might be a plane or maybe

(20:41):
even a helicopter. But one man says.
He believes he saw a UFO in our Florida skies.
They were kind of glowing and flickering a little bit.
It was Wednesday evening when Matt Krause and his wife looked
up, but they didn't see the moon.
Instead they saw a single brightlight then.
New lights appeared near it and they were got really, really
bright at that point and there were about four of them and they

(21:03):
kind of moved in different directions.
He snapped these pictures sayingwhatever these are didn't make
any sound and seem to be hovering in place.
What I can't explain though is why they were so bright, why
they were stationary for one of them was stationary for 15
minutes. So I asked RSW if anything
abnormal was going on. They deferred us to the FAA.
The FAAA says we'd have to ask the military.

(21:25):
Naples Airport Authority, however, says there wasn't
anything out of the ordinary on radar that night, but noted it
could be Chinese lanterns, whichare illegal in city limits.
Matt doesn't think so. The random movement is kind of
what convinced me that they weren't something like Chinese
lanterns that were being blown by the wind.
Back on Naples beach, suspicion was in the air.
I I I feel. There's something out there.

(21:45):
Looks a little suspicious. People sightings of UFOs, it's
usually some sort of military aircraft or something like that.
I'd have to see it to believe it, physically be there to see
it. Could it really be something
from outer space? One aviation expert says only 1%
of sightings go unexplained, buthe couldn't rule out the fact
that what Matt saw could be fromout of this world it.

(22:06):
Could be a number of different things.
How arrogant do we think we are that we're all by ourselves in
this entire universe? Atmospheric anomalies, drones or
covert military OPS are other possibilities, but Pete thinks
that they probably are. From.
Space and for from another location or a place.
That we are not aware of. Many of these reports would

(22:29):
possibly be explained as stars, satellites, or the occasional
airplane. Whether they're near or far
away, we typically know what these things look like in the
night sky. They have a pattern, size, and
even a color that we recognize and can rationally explain.

(22:51):
But not all of these lights react within our understanding
of physics or reality. So much has been seen that our
government and military can't ignore the reality of the UFO
phenomenon. Within recent years, our
Congress has been forced to takethis topic more seriously.

(23:13):
We're getting some new insight now about those Congressional
UFO or UAP hearings in Congress.Local Congresswoman Anna Paulina
Luna is now sharing some reactions to what she heard,
including evidence she has seen that defies explanation.
You know, Mark, for her, these hearings are ultimately matters
of national security and government transparency.
They're also wildly interesting whether you're a believer or

(23:35):
not. And she says based on what she
has seen, there are things out there that defy are known
capabilities. The circumstances surrounding
UAPS has captivated the intention of the American people
for decades. Republican Congresswoman Anna
Paulina Luna of Florida was a central figure in the recent UFO
hearings where 3 whistleblowers claimed the US government knows

(23:56):
a lot more than it's admitting when it comes to unidentified
aerial phenomena now called UAPS.
It does appear, and for what I'mseeing based on the
stonewalling, that they are hiding something.
That secrecy, she says, is extremely problematic.
If these are programs that are being set up without
congressional oversight and are responsible for, you know,

(24:17):
billions of dollars being lost that could be going towards
other things, I think that that's something that absolutely
is pertinent. Were they I guess human or non
human biologics? Non human.
Among the extraordinary claims made during Thursday's hearing
was that non human biologics have been recovered from a
crashed craft. While Representative Luna says
she hasn't seen a UAP herself, she says she has laid eyes on

(24:40):
other evidence ripped straight from a science fiction movie.
Based on the evidence that I have personally seen, the
technology that exists is is something that I don't think any
government has currently. When I was at Eglin Air Force
Base, I did see a photo and I also talked to the pilots of
something that is definitely notcreated by our Department of

(25:03):
Defense. She says she's working to get
that photo declassified and a whole lot.
More. It's a huge national security
issue, but also too it's an issue of government
transparency. And she says there will be more
hearings on the UFO topic. She says this is really the
early stages of their congressional investigation.
And she adds they have subpoena power and aren't afraid to use

(25:24):
it. Mark, more to come on this back
to you. UFOs should no longer be a
subject of ridicule because the facts are more evident than
anytime in our history. As I've said before, the more we
talk about this phenomena, the more we'll understand.

(25:48):
Photo and video evidence, along with countless reports from
civilians and respected militarypersonnel continue to beg the
question, Are we truly alone? Before you go, I wanted to give

(26:13):
a quick update and let you guys know that I'll be taking a short
break. I usually release biweekly, but
I'll be taking some time to address projects that are
currently demanding more of my time now.
I promise that I'll be back soonwith more scary stories and also
some really exciting news that Ican't wait to share with you.

(26:36):
To all my Patreon subscribers, Ireally appreciate your continued
